Kallo, Inc. (KALO) Begins Talks with Sierra Leone as Country is in the Midst of the Deadliest Ebola Outbreak in History

Under a $200 million contract with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene of the Republic of Guinea, Kallo has agreed to implement a variety of its healthcare delivery solutions, including MobileCare, which are effectively mobile clinics on a truck that are fully equipped with the latest medical devices, congruent information systems technologies, with a satellite and radio-frequency communications infrastructure to connect to Telehealth centers for determining complex diagnosis. The company will also implement its RuralCare pre-fabricated modulated healthcare delivery systems, which range in size from 1,200 to 3,800 square feet and can be implemented in as short as a week.

Just to the southwest of Guinea and also in West Africa is the Republic of Sierra Leone. This past June 13, 2014, the Ministry of Health and Sanitation of the Republic of Sierra Leone through Permanent Secretary Mr. Sadiq Kapuwa has extended an invitation for Kallo to visit Sierra Leone between August and September 2014 to meet with senior technical officials of the Ministry to further discuss Kallo’s proposal and enhance management decision to move forward with the Kallo MobileCare initiative.

Simultaneously, the deadliest outbreak of Ebola virus in the history of the world is occurring right now hitting Guinea and Sierra Leone as well as the neighboring country Liberia, so one can see why these health ministries are reaching out for new solutions to treat people. Just a matter of months ago, Guinea announced that the Ebola outbreak was pretty much contained. Unfortunately, the situation got worse as the disease has now killed an estimated 367 since this winter and infected 600. On June 23, the group Doctors Without Borders sent out a distress call, and stated it was overwhelmed and that the epidemic was completely out of control, and that it couldn’t send workers to new outbreak sites without getting more resources.

There are five known species of Ebola virus. This particular virus is the strain Zaire Ebola virus, which is considered the most deadly and kills 79% of those infected. The disease starts off with flu-like symptoms and often ends with horrific hemorrhaging. In later stages of the disease, some people bleed from the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and rectum. What actually kills people is shock from multiple organ failure, including problems with the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Symptoms come on abruptly after an incubation period of 2 to 21 days. And people generally die between day 6 and 16 of the illness. People can be treated for the symptoms and usually given intravenous fluids for dehydration, and some of those treated can survive.

There is no cure for the disease although the National Institute of Health (NIH) has set aside a budget of $50 million for drug research. Some scientists are also working on possible vaccines. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for an 11-nation emergency meeting to be held on July 2-3 in Accra, Ghana to discuss how best to tackle the current crisis.

Doctors Without Borders has made it quite clear that they need additional medical staff with training in how to treat Ebola. Although it is unknown whether Kallo will play any direct role regarding this current crisis, it has awakened these countries in the realization that they need to rapidly build and improve their healthcare infrastructure, and Kallo offers strong solutions to help fulfill that purpose.
